Dialogue & Mechanism

Based upon a diagnosis on the needs of the EU-CELAC Coordination and Cooperation Mechanism on Drugs, during the first phase of COPOLAD, a new sustainable virtual platform was set up, to strengthen the role and tasks of the Mechanism, facilitating contacts among its members, and disseminating the work performed since its creation in 1999.

The e-room has performed several functions:

- informative, to help users to access all-important Mechanism-related information and documentation;

- cooperative, to facilitate and optimize the communication among all members (professionals working at NAs, members of the Mechanism’s Technical Committee and delegates from the Ministries of Foreign Affairs).

Apart from that, and responding to new requests from countries, five thematic forums were added, serving as a communication platform for several working groups (e.g., the consensus process of quality criteria in DDR; evaluation of national strategies; management of seized assets; control of drug precursors, etc.). 

In this second phase of COPOLAD we will continue supporting the tasks and works of the Mechanism through the e-room, and new forums and working groups will be created in the different areas of interest for countries.
